POPULAR SPANISH PARTBREDS

PRE x Quarter Horse (QH)   Azteca

The Azteca is a very athletic horse as you would imagine, and combined with an amazing temperament and extreme intelligence it makes them a pleasure to train and work with. They are still relatively unknown in the UK which is a real shame and at the moment there is no UK registry for them. The preferred cross has always been a PRE stallion on a QH mare, rather than the other way around.    Karen Collison  Aztec Andalusian Stud

PRE x Appaloosa   ​Andaloosa

The 50/50 crosses have certainly made their mark in the show ring, but more importantly they are proving to be an extremely tough and versatile horse than can turn its hoof to pretty much anything that is asked of them. Old paintings from many centuries ago clearly show Spanish horses in a wide variety of colours, including spotted. So we are putting the spots back into the Spanish horse!
The results have been stunning and we have created a breeder’s dream – a horse with looks, temperament, striking coat pattern and the ability to compete in all disciplines.  This even includes a dressage test with a dog riding pillion!  ​Karen Collison  Aztec Andalusian Stud

PRE x Connemara

The Connemara and the Welsh Section D have Spanish Blood in their makeup and make fantastic crosses

PRE x Comtois

We introduced a Spanish x Comtois mare into our breeding programme, in order to produce a quality, weight carrying horse with an intelligent yet laid back disposition.
The first of these offspring, Aztec Cremoso, was sold as a stunt and display horse, yet he’s equally at home teaching young children to ride as he is in the ring performing stunts.   Then we had Aztec Silverio, who has had a simply phenomenal showing career since a yearling, with many championships under his belt at County level with his owner Catherine Legg.      Aztec Amistosa then followed, and she was sold to a young lady as a first horse….not something we would normally do with a weanling! But she was the most laid back foal we have ever had and Claire, her owner, came to visit her regularly before she was ready to leave us. Claire even started her herself, with help from her experienced yard owner, and this horse has not put a foot wrong…ever! Absolutely nothing fazes this mare and even now at just four years old, she will give the older horses a lead through water, past scary lorries and flapping plastic etc!  Karen Collison  Aztec Andalusian Stud

PRE x Morgan

PRE x Shire

PRE x Saddlebred

PARTBRED BREEDER COMMENTS

The Spanish part bred horse has a lot to offer and they are often less ‘hot’ than the purebreds. They can also be a great way to acquire a horse with Spanish blood, but without the generally higher price tag of a PRE .  If you want a loyal friend to hack out and enjoy, or maybe compete and try a bit of everything with, then look no further than a partbred Spanish horse. The vast majority are suitable for barefoot and tough enough to live out 24/7 if required.
